Fixing an issue

The Documentation issue tracker is the central place for contributing to WordPress documentation. No actual documentation is hosted in this repository. Its purpose is to track all the issues for any part of WordPress documentation.

We don’t have Pull Requests there because no actual documentation is hosted in the repository, so we can’t use some other GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ features, such as “Request review” etc. Also, due to permissions, contributors can’t assign themselves or move issues through our project boards.

Please follow below workflow:

  1. You browse issues and find what you like. Post in comment that you’d like to work on it and start working.
  2. Someone will assign you and move issue into “In progress” column.
  3. When your work is ready for review, post another comment mentioning @zzap , @atachibana or someone else if you were discussing it with someone else.
  4. Someone will move issue to “Review” column. After review you’ll be either asked to fix something or if you’d like to update documentation yourself.
  5. When documentation is updated the issue is moved to “Done” column.
